The eponymous protagonist of Lawrence Kasdan's romantic comedy is an amiable small town flim flam man who poses as a psychologist and becomes something of a miracle worker. It's unclear whether the film is lambasting therapy (as a placebo administrable by anyone with good ol' common sense) or just de-mystifying it. But, thanks to a smart script and stunning ensemble (Alfre Woodard, Hope Davis, Jason Lee) such heady concerns are irrelevant.
